Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Bloomsbury

Wonderful restaurant. My husband uses a walker and seating was only downstairs which he could not do especially as handrail was trimmed with garland for the holidays. But they were so gracious and opened upstairs dining room especially for us. They were terrific and our service was exceptional and so quiet as we were the only two people in the dining room. Our server, a young man from Naples, Italy was so kind and very friendly and he was a delight. We usually eat here 2 x during our stay and the food was delicious. We shared burrata with tomatoes and pesto which is amazing and then finished off with a bowl of minestrone soup was probably the best we ever ate anywhere. We dined here with 4 others the other night for dinner and everyone was thrilled with service and outstanding food.

The only reason I have marked down the ambiance is we went relatively early so the restaurant wasn’t as busy. Food and service was excellent. Would definitely recommend it 👌

Amazing Italian food highly recommended .

First time at Doppo but definitely won’t be the last! Exceptional food in an elegant Georgian townhouse. Very good value for the location and an exceptional wine list. Friendly service rounded off the evening perfectly

We have eaten at Pentole & Padelle twice this week and are over the moon. We came with a large party (9-10 ppl) and found it by accident as we made a random reservation day-of; it was the perfect place to escape the crazy Christmas crowds on the nearby busy streets. We were immediately welcomed in and were impressed with the hospitality and the ambience. It is lovely inside, warm and welcoming, casual but very nice. The decor is lovely and is very festive for the holiday season. We’ve done both the regular menu and the prix fixe menu and have loved everything: for appetizers the croquettes, the artichoke soup, the bruschetta is out of this world. For entrees we’ve had spaghetti, carbonara, lasagna, linguini with prawns, and everything has been phenomenal. Fresh, homemade, pure ingredients. The desserts (panna cotta, Tirimisu, assorted sherbets) are among the best we’ve ever had. Price ranged but was less than £30 each. We also recommend the limoncello spritz! We cannot recommend Pentole & Padelle enough. We’ll be coming back as soon as we make it back to London!
